So sorry! will keep an eye out for it. Post a photo if you have one.
Here is a helpful link:
It’s imperative that you upload the loss complete with serial number to bikeindex.org which the police often use to check if it’s been stolen if they do come across it. No serial #? sorry buddy… tough lesson.
You have probably seen many light poles around Portland with an oval hole opening at ankle height. That is due to crime tent related theft of utility services. They wrap their tarp around it to pull electricity into their tent so they can charge things like their bike lock cutting angle grinder or electric Jaws of Life. There’s really not much out there that can resist them and they use disguise the noise in the background of traffic, garbage trucks etc.

Nice. How’d you track them down?

Will the thief be stealing any more bikes, or will a newly acquired disability prevent that?
